I dont have anything against firewire, it just gets bugger all usage compared to USB, just coz something is better does not mean it will get preference! Yes I agree that part of the reason firewire gets little usage is that computers do not come with it as standard, so it may get a resurgence if this happens, but gee its got a LOT of ground to make up!

Firewire (even 1304a) has the advantage over USB in the area of data transfers because, unlike USB, Firewire can send the data in an uninterrupted stream.
USB will not go away since I have never seen a Firewire printer, or a firewire joystick. Have you?TANSTAAFL -

Both USB and Firewire serve a purpose. I don't think the article was which was better. I also don't think the article said that FW Ports were replacing USB ports. I believe it said these FW Ports were being added to the boards architecture. There was some related discussion about Sata slots, but not a single mention of USB.
I didn't read anything about something(USB) being removed. I think some people didn't read the article or decided to jump on the "kill USB bandwagon". You can climb aboard that train, but remember tech from the 1960's (the floppy) is still widely used today. -
"Floppies? We don't need no stinkin' floppies!"
Funny how the PC98 spec (from Intel) calls for the removal of floppy drives. Let's see, ummm, 2005 minus 1998 equals seven years.
Personally, I haven't had a need for a floppy disk since my first iMac. My backup disk is a 100GB HD and I archive my iTunes collection to DVD.
Wait! I take that back. I -did- need a floppy when I installed W2K and it asked for the RAID drivers. Of course, being as Bill Gates "invented the CD", you'd have thought he would have permitted a CD to be a choice (rather than a floppy). No such luck.
So the only reason consumers might still require floppies is because Microsoft can't program its way out of a paper bag, eh?
